Well, a "standard" client-connect script is synchronous, so while the
script runs, the server waits for the script to finish. Thus, cannot
respond to management activities.

Use 2.5, which has asynchronous (deferred) client-connect scripts.
(Or, if openvpn does not need to wait for the result of the script,
just fork a background job from the script and return right away - this
works with 2.4 as well)
